If you don't use strategies against warriors who have special powers how are you suppose to beat them?
Bhisma - ehcha mrityu,
Karn - special Kavach protecting him
Duryodhan - body made of vajra

We have a saying that one should get their hands dirty first IF they wish to clean the dirt.
Well , Honestly Krishn is the Most, honest, loyal, yet cunning person of the whole Mahabharat.

Even today me and my mom joke around saying " there is no big manipulator than Krishn in Mahabharat ".

But he did it for a good cause.

So Yeah he is the Hero and the Villian too of Mahabharat . The whole Mahabharat literally functioned upon his fingers.

Bheeshm should be killed , he tricked.

Dhronacharya should be killed, He tricked.

Karn should be killed, He tricked.

But if we say that he is villian, I have proof's for him being Hero too .

Karn is his Bua's beta. And he is just like the rest 5 Pandavas. Yet he tricked Karn to his death Because that was a must to end the Evil.

Abhimanyu, He is one child whom Krishn brought up on his own hand, with loads of love. Yet he let Abhimanyu to die, FIRST among the whole Shantanu Parivaar, Because that was a must to end Evil.

He lost so many of his own family members , For the end of Evil??

Who will sacrifice to this extent , or even trick his own family to death just for the welfare of the society??

A HERO. Isn't it?

So yeah Krishn is, was and will always be Hero and Villian of Mahabharat !!😎

Depends on which side is making the argument. Benedict Arnold was a traitor to the Americans and a patriot to the British

Awesome post..! 👏
@Bold - Nope he was the only one who didn't get tricked. Whatever happened was as per his own wish to "Eliminate" himself for a better cause. 😊

@Shruti -as far as I heard Vasudev is the one who asked Arjun or Pandavas( Don't remember whom he asked actually, Arjun I think as Bheeshm asks Arjun to make his bed of arrows ) to bring Shikandini to the war field in front of him as he felt its time Bheeshm stops fighting.

I agree with some parts of the article. Hmm..or may be with most parts of the article.

Kauravas did Adharm first,hence Krishna too followed it!! Tit for tat right..??What kind of a logic is that? For god's sake he is a god. He shouldn't be following Adharma just because the opponents did.

In my opinion,In the battle of greys he chose to support his legal cousins. Ever heard of nepotism?

Okay.Now let me make it clear. I respect religious sentiments. Whatever written in my post is simply my opinion.

If you are ok with rebuttals, here they are:

You say he is God, so he should not use adharma.
So for that there is an avatara, Rama avatara. Rama avatara is specifically for showing humans how to live and how to fight adharma in a dharmic way.

Whereas Krishna is the Leela Purushottama, the one who lives his life as a Leela. We are not supposed to do what he does. The purpose of using adharma against adharma is more than just tit for tat. It is much more. TO put it simply, it is poison fights poison. If you want to dispel a poison from someone, just giving normal medicines doesn't work. We have to give the medicine which contains the very same poison, so that they neutralise.
This is precisely what Lord Krishna did in the Kurukshetra. His actions need to be studied to understand them. Even after deep study it is not possible to understand all his actions. This explanation which has been given is just a small drop in the ocean of Krishna's Leela.

Ok, getting too religious. Sorry.😛

You have raised a valid point. Using Adharma against Adharma. But I am not really moved by that idea.May be because I believe, if we weigh Pandavas and Kauravas in a balance of Dharma, both the teams would be more or less in the same position. So that makes me think why Krishna never punished Yudi for staking Draupadi,why was he okay with his cousins supporting racism,Why was he okay with Draupadi insulting her guests(which actually lead to the dice game). And there are many more incidents in the war. I agree Kauravas started it. But Pandavas weren't saints either, to have support from an avatar roop like Krishna.

Hmm..I hope that make sense🤔 And I will have to admit that I have never researched much on any character of Mahabharta to have a deeper understanding of their action😃. reply in refernce to the italicised portion of your post.

Edit : Forgot to add. That was a nice reply😃 I was fearing ppl would jump on me for that post.
